I have Progressive Boat Ins. It is agreed value, $12500.00 for mine, they just ask you on the phone what its worth, and tow coverage too. Around $200 a year for all with the disappearing deductible. Goes down 25% each year you don't have a claim.

Just because you have a boat insured for a certain amount does not mean that they will pay that amount in a case of a total loss. You have to have a stated value for your boat and if you do not then they will pay up to the amount you have it insured. I have mine insured for like 8,500 and if its totaled they will determine the value which could be 6,500 and thats what I would receive. Just about all insurance Co. would require a survey to insure an older boat for stated value.

Sorry to say this but I bet you do not have agreed value. I'm in the business and the insurance co would require more documentation for that coverage. If you ask I bet they will tell you that they will pay up to that amount depending on the boats value at the time of loss. This is a common mistake and I have even heard the sale agents make this mistake. You should give them a call or read the section of your policy talking about how a loss is settled.
